One of the few 2015 Anime that I watched this year was Chivalry of A Failed Knight (The Worst One)
A total of 12 episodes and the series follows the usual Shonen/Action Tournament Anime. Follows the life and battles of Kurogane Ikki. He is indeed the titular "Failed Knight"/ The Worst One because among all the students in the school with Sword-magic, he can't enchant his sword with magic. be it elemental or otherwise. The school gives him a student rating of F (the best being an A-rank).
Most of the usual RPG elementals tropes are here (Fire, Water, Lightning).
The art direction for the last two episodes goes really out there as it takes a Grey, Black, and white with hints of red, blue, and yellow in select objects or characters. The actual picture quality of show goes into a "Grindhouse" mode where you can see more noise and pop in the picture like it was and old film. Something odd to be sure and really got my attention...

Hulu helping us remember some of the Christmas themed Anime episodes
It's only 5 days away from Christmas Day and Hulu video streaming service is helping Anime fans like myself remember that there are Christmas episodes in some series.
What's on their list:
- Mahoromatic - Season 1 Episode 5
- My Santa - Season 1 Episode 1
- My Santa - Season 1 Episode 2
- YuriYuri - Season 1 Episode 7
- Minami Ke - Season 4 Episode 12
- School Rumble - Season 2 Episode 19
- Vandread - Season 1 Episode 10
- Shakugan no Shana - Season 2 Episode 22
- Toradora - Season 1 Episode 19
Personally I have only watched the Vandread episode and it was so memorable because if I remember correctly the song "It's a Wonderful World" or a cover of it is played during that episode.
There is show that is also on Hulu but the curator of this list forgot about...
Ah! My Goddess Season 2 Episode 3 - Keiichi/K1 even dresses up in a reindeer costume.
